What Causes Red Swollen Eyelids?
both my eyelids became swollen and red about 1 week ago. I went to the walk in clinic thinking I might have the start of pink eye. It was not pink eye. Over the week the swelling has gone away but the eyelids are now red and very dry. Not really itchy but sensitive

Hi,
It appears to be blepharitis. Get examined by ophthalmologist. Clean the eye lid with sterile swab and apply Neosporine ophthalmic ointment. Check for dandruff in scalp and eye brow. It should be treated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashok Kumar Dash
